Moses was fantastic! My parents only speak English and were able to understand him perfectly. He drove safely to Ingapirca and back, and it was a lovely scenic drive. Definitely worth the time and money!

We very much enjoyed our tour with Christian - he is very knowledgeable of Ecuador's history and was very kind and respectful to the places and people we visited. Our group included both Spanish and English speakers, and we were beyond impressed with Christian's ability to lead the tour in both languages, doubling as a language lesson for us as we listened closely to both versions of storytelling. We learned about some of Ecuador's history while visiting Ingapirca and Cerro Yanacauri and marveling at their historic structures. We also enjoyed delicious local foods and the opportunity to observe a local parade celebrating 24 years of Cañar being declared the cultural and archaeological capital of Ecuador. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful country with us!
